The genre of glitch is completely based on sampling, cutting, chopping...the deconstruction of one artform and the reconstruction of the pieces into something new. I ripped the audio from RegularJOE's videos and sampled it into a track I made. I reconstructed his words to describe a lot of feelings I have regarding sampling and remixing in general. I was suprised how easily his words could tell my story.

Does someone want to take a crack at adding harmonies or instruments to this? Let me know if I need to provide other files for the sake of ease as I've never done this sorta thing before.

Nels Cline -- I mostly know him as Wilco's guitarist, although he's made all kinds of music in all kinds of contexts. The other night he came by the REC Room to lend his inimitable playing to a song we've been brewing up around here -- Everything Is On Fire by wirrow. I think it's the perfect addition. Really looking forward to see where these RECords on fire go next...

I have some (lo-fi) video of him playing this, it's just gonna take some compression etc to get it up here.

Let's start playing with some visual ideas for this song...

Here's a slightly better quality recording of 'Day & Night'.
I say slightly, cause my recording equipment consists of nothing but garageband.
Zip file on the way with all parts. [:
eeek. I get so nervous uploading this stuff..
My stuff sounds like poop compared to the other music on here...

Here is a revision of the original Life is But a Dream! I shook things up a bit and added vocals by Riana6 and ChaneleyWelly as well some newly recorded drums. ChaneleyWelly originally sang the entire Last poem by Lewis Carrol, but I found it a bit cluttered, so I opened up the middle and chose some specific verses. I hope you enjoy!

Hello!
I'm looking for a big strong chorus to accompany this shy voice on a couple of songs. (percussion or more instruments would be cool too!)

Specs:
1. In the chorus I sing "Gravity has taken its toll on me" (this happens twice) and I would love to hear one thousand more voices singing/saying this.
2. In the third verse I sing "She begged all of the babies to scream" and I would love to hear screaming behind the word "scream."
3. At the end I sing "The universe echoed with a mighty wind, it said 'gravity has taken its toll, gravity has taken its toll on me, gravity has taken its toll on me" and, again, I would love to hear one thousand more voices singing/saying this along with my voice.
looking forward to it,
xo,
Allegra

i don't know where i've been


i can't recall if i'm wearing thin


i don't mind if i'm lost


i don't mind if i'm tired and frail and lost


 


i left a man in my wake


resented him for what he had to say


i don't mind that i'm alone


i don't mind that my heart, it carries stones


 


my heart, it carries stones


 


i told it all, unedited


i told it all like i remembered it


they interlocked and then they fled


and met again, but the love they'd made was dead


 


i am no historian


i'm prone to error in the records i give


i am proud of what i feel


i am proud that my skin is tempered steel


 


my skin is tempered steel

Nothing big
Nothing grand
Nothing useful
Nothing planned
Nothing smart, or at least not very
Nothing revolutionary
Nothing urgent
Nothing hot
Maybe quiet
Maybe not
Nothing hard
Nothing wet
Nothing naked, well not yet
Nothing witty
Nothing wise
No big deal
No first prize
Nothing solemn
Nothing set
Nothing much to give or get
Nothing now but me and you
Nothing more, thanks, that'll do

This is probably my most personal song...made when I was just figuring out how to use editing software like Audacity. It was one of the first songs where I could actually hear my voice; after the hours and hours and hundreds of songs written and forgotten, I could now record and edit what had been going around my brain since I was a child.

I had an impulse of sloppy passion and creativity this weekend! It's low-fi, dorky wizard wrock... but it's full of honest longing.

everything i touch turns to gold
everyone i love quickly gathers mold
and every joke i say quickly gets old
but this is my return to form

i've got only fifteen minutes
until this cloudburst drowns me out

everything i sing makes no sense
everything i write seems so pointless
everyone i know acknowledges it
but this is my return to form

i've got only fifteen minutes
until this cloudburst drowns me out
with soft lightning

lava_tornado released a great rockin instrumental called Project 26.  Then Babbish sung her sun baked and neon lit lyrics onto it.  Here, I just added some backing vox.

Albert was looking for vocals for some of his tracks with lyrics on the theme of depression. So here's what I've come up with using his excellent track '23-bass riff'. I looped it, added a vocal line or two and some weird ambienty sounds. Hope ya like it Albert!


Oh and my headphones are busted so sorry if the mix sucks - I can upload stems if you like it!


The air is my enemy
the sun comes up without me


the minutes pollute my lungs
and dull my mind and tie my tongue


pit of my stomach churning coal
my soul is old
my soul is cold


the ravens use me as their perch
call off the search
I'm in the earth


the mud is up to my chest
I only want to rest
my heavy eyelids turn me blind
I can't unwind the binds


Here comes the deluge
there goes my shortlived refuge
home is the dark days
I am the knot that frays

I found Jooshua's guitar track and it sounded like a simple/sweet love song. So, that is just what I made it out to be. I wanted to try something different, and I played some real drums and piano for once, hopefully that trend will continue. The lyrics are overly simple, perhaps somebody else may want to write up something better, but they work for what the song is.


And finally, and most importantly, the awesome Robo J was kind enough to add some kicking bass to the tune. Well, there you have it. Hope the mix sounds ok. I tried some new things.

Glitch has been workin' on this mix all week (and for some reason the file wouldn't upload in his browser - so he sent it to me.) "It starts with a Glitch" is awesome! Let's get to work on creating a video to accompany it! Remember - cut to the beat! :D <3
